compromised but that wait times will be increased. what's your take that these effects are going to have? >> good to see you, first, ali. i think first it could become a nightmare but isn't it really a nightmare already? should they outsource their service to companies like us? we would see more ee fish enlts operation and more cost-efficient operation also. >> there are only 16 u.s. airports that have private screener. the large ones, by the way, include san francisco and kansas city, but most of them are smaller, they're more remote airports which have contracts with local security companies. your company, garda provides screening. what have you been able to offer

the gft that the government couldn't do itself. >> canadian government went through the same thing. they turned it around and said how can we do this in a more efficient way. we bring different efficient measure measures through put more efficiently. in canada a few years ago they had issues in terms of budget. they came to us and said could we do things differently. in just one region we're able to cut the bunt -- budget from 264. if you take the same scenario in the u.s. 1.5 billion is going to the screeners and 1.5 billion to the oversight. this is totally ridiculous.

tsa needs to get their act today and this will push the pressure on the u.s. government to look at the business and more importantly. >> stephane, i have to cut you off. that's it for "your money." have a great weekend. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com hello, everyone. welcome to the "cnn newsroom." i'm fredricka whitfield. we start in florida where fear is growing after a sinkhole swallows a house. search crews in suburban tampa haven't been able to recover the body of jeff bush because it's simply too dangerous. it's the blue house right behind you where the sinkhole kind of opened up, the bedroom floor.

we understand the house is, according to officials, is ready to collapse. are they going to be bringing in other equipment to help out in the search for this missing ma'am? >> reporter: no, they're really not. at this point they can't do anything but continue to try to use ground penetrating area around the house and areas of the house fredricka, so they can determine the extent of the sinkhole, how wide it is. they know it's at least 25, 30 deep. may be getting deeper or wider because the walls along the edge of the sinkhole are very sandy and very steep which means it could very easily continue to collapse on them. in fact, they did find that the house that was evacuated, the green house here, which was evacuated yesterday, was, in fact, compromised as well. they made that determination from that ground penetrating radar that they used. the neighbors were allow god in there around noon today for about 30 minutes with the assistance of fire and rescue personnel. allow god in there and get out

as many belongings as they could. they took out tv sets, smaller pieces of furniture, a lot of things that they could fit in boxes as well that was easily manageable to get out. now also today jeremy bush, the brother who tried to get in there to save jeff, tried to literally dig him out with a shovel, he was out here today laying some flowers and a small memorial set up on this side of the street in front of the house and he spent some time there and he nelt quietly and was certainly you could tell very consumed with grief as he laid those flowers there and he talked to anderson cooper last night just about what he went through trying to rescue his brother. >> i heard a loud crash like a car coming through the house and i heard my brother screaming, so i ran back there and tried going inside his room, but my old lady

turning the light on and all i seen was a big hole, a real big hole. >> the plan now is to continue to try to survey the area around. in fact, one of those ground pen tratsing devices is on this side of the street right now, and they're just trying to figure out where does the soft sand, the soft clay material, where does it end and where do they start to get some more of the harder material that they no longer have to worry about a sinkhole developing below the ground. so they're not saying there's any problem on this sight of the street but they want to make sure. they're going to do more work today and continue to try to get an idea of exactly how far out this sinkhole might expand over time. not saying it will, but might expand over time. >> all right. horrible situation. thanks so much, john zarrella there in seffner, florida. they failed to reach

consensus to stop big spending cuts. they ordered a halt of spending, over $85 billion in the next several months. dana bash joining us from washington. dana, you walk the halls of congress every day. do you think these lawmakers get the frustration that people outside of the beltway have with washington? they do. the problem is what the lawmakers you talk to say is that the other persons say it's the other sides fault which breeds the exact frustration that people have with washington. you know, one of the interesting conversations that we had just yesterday was with the chairwoman of the senate committee who is in charge of the spending bills, barbara mikulski of maryland. and even she expressed frustration, which she called a photo op yesterday.

listen to this. >> we've hit march 1st, we've hit sequester. let's to go. i'm ready for the photo op at the white house to give me instructions. i can make strategic cuts and i can do it on a bipartisan basis. we've got to to go to work. >> you know, the issue, fred, that led us to where we are right now, both sides dug in on their philosophical fundamental differences which is whether to deal with the tax deficit by having tax increases or spending cuts. democrats offered to do it 50/50. republicans said, no, we did way too many last year and that's why we are where we are right now. >> so these cuts will span something like six to eight months. meantime, you know, there's another threat looming this month and that could lead to a government shutdown. so how much of what has just happened as of yesterday kind of set the stage for potential

government shutdown by the end of the month? >> probably the only positive thing that came out of that meeting yesterday from the white house and congressional leaders at both parties was the desire to keep the government running, to not shut the government down wchl heard it from the house speaker and the president. we heard it very clearly. of course, the devil is in the details. how are they going do that? we're going see the republicans to pass legislation to do just that, to keep the government running through the owned testify fiscal year, which is september 30th, but there are some differences that they have, no surprise, with the democrats that run the senate and priorities in that. at this point i'm told by sources, in the senate in particular, that the democrats got the signal from the prlt that they'd better figure it out because there's no desire to to go through this and have the government shut down or come close to the drama of it in 25

days. >> not at all. dana bash in washington. thank you. venezuelan president hugo chavez is said to be figin figh for his life. he takes to twitter and says the government is lying about his condition. he has not been heard from since the october elections. meanwhile supporters held a mass at the venezuelan hospital where chavez is said to be receiving treatments. anger in the streets. they're outraged at the death of a russian boy adopted by a texan couple that's being called an accident. the district attorney says they found the boy died of a torn artery in his stomach and the bruising on the boy was self-inflicted according to the report. all right. the man charged in that shooting rampage at a colorado movie theater is attacking the state's

[ male announcer ] for years, bob took warfarin, and made a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but not anymore. bob's doctor recommended a different option: once-a-day xarelto®. xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes. new zealand! xarelto® is just one pill a day, taken with the evening meal. and with no dietary restrictions, bob can eat the healthy foods he likes.

do not stop taking xarelto® rivaroxaban without talking to the doctor who prescribes it for you. stopping may increase your risk of having a stroke. get medical help right away if you develop any signs or symptoms of bleeding, like unusual bruising or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you currently have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto®, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. ready to change your routine? ask your doctor about once-a-day xarelto®. for more information including cost support options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com.

week of testimony in the jodi arias murder trial. she broke down in tears as the prosecutor grilled her about the moments before and after she killed travis alexander. randi kaye has the compelling testimony from phoenix. let me warn you some of the images you're about to see are very graphic and disturbing. >> reporter: tears from jodi arias. she broke down on the stand as the first photo of travis alexander's body is displayed in court. it showed him twisted and crumbled on the shower floor. >> were you crying when you shooting him? >> i don't remember. >> were you crying when you were stabbing him? >> i don't remember. >> how about when you cut his throat? were you crying then? >> i don't know. >> reporter: with her face in her hands the prosecutor dared

her to look. >> take a look then. you're the one that did this, right? >> yes. >> and you're the same individual that lied about all of this, right? >> yes. >> so then take a look at it. >> reporter: from the stand yars did her best to convince the jury she acted in self-defense. she said alexander attacked her after she dropped his can't rah. >> he body slammed me. >> he body slammed you down. >> yes. >> in a very forceful way. where did he body slam you down? >> right in the same way, on the tile. >> reporter: even if it was self-defense, how did it lead to this? nearly 30 stab wounds, his throat cut, and a single gunshot to the hecht and prosecutors specifically retraced the steps

leading up to that point starting with the moment she says she shot him. >> he was running at me as i turned around. >> reporter: arias said he charged her like a linebacker. >> show me the linebacker pose. >> he went like that. >> reporter: that's when she said the gun went off. >> i think i screamed when i pointed the gun at him. >> and then what do you do? >> i don't really remember. i don't remember anything at this point, so i would be speculating. >> later prosecutor displayed several grew many photos from the crime scene. >> and according to your version of events you would acknowledge that the stabbing was after the shooting according to you, right? >> yes. i don't remember. >> i'm not asking you if you remember, ma'am. i'm asking if you acknowledge that it would be you that did

it, correct? >> yes. >> reporter: no matter what she said on the stand the state isn't buying her story. here's why. investigators believe she killed him in the shower. that i showed a clip of her interview with a detective, an attempt to prove that she lured alexander to the shower just hours after they had sex. >> i asked him if i could take pictures of him in the shower and he was like no. and i said i had a couple of ideas. you're right. he wasn't very comfortable. he was standing there and he said, i feel guy. >> reporter: arias snapped naked photos of alexander including this one shown to the court. it's time stamped, 2:30 a.m. minutes before arias stabbed him in the heart.

>> you directed him where to be and how to sit, right? >> yes. >> reporter: directing him perhaps to his own death. >> do you remember trapping alexander? >> yes, i remember that. >> that's why we're here. because you killed him, right? >> yes. >> reporter: randi kaye, cnn, phoenix, arizona. >> arias is back on the stand monday to face more questions from her attorney. the defense can ask anything the prosecutor brought up. after the defense is finished the jury can ask questions of their own and if the judge thinks they're appropriate, arias has to answer them. join anderson cooper tonight for the special airing at 9:00 eastern time right here on cnn. all right, we're into day one of the forced spending cuts. coming up, we'll talk with the man who drafted the first ever drafting law. he's got the insights on when we'll start to feel the impact. d a new role. working behind the scenes to provide companies with services...

we're into day one of those forced spending cuts, $85 billion worth, and it doesn't appear that the president or congressional republicans are any closer to ending the cuts any time soon. >> the president got his tax hikes on january 1st. this discussion about revenue in my view is over. it's about taking on the spending problem here in washington. >> at a time when our businesses have finally begun to get some traction, hiring new workers, bringing jobs back to america, we shouldn't be making a series of dumb arbitrary cuts to things that businesses depend on and workers depend on like education and research and infrastructure and defense. >> joining me is steve bell who is no stranger to these budget battles. he was staff director of the budget committee and is now

senior economic policy. in your view who's going to be hurt the most by these forced spending cuts? >> in the short run not many will notice but the hurt has already started. >> in what way? >> for small businesses who depend on contracts with larger contractors through the federal government. they've already had to cut back on their hiring plans. in some cases they've had to be forced to sell their business in this region, washington, d.c., region because they can't get credit lines extended. so we've seen in the last six months by the gross domestic product features, you've seen people waitling for aattempting to anticipate the sequester. >> so this isn't the first time we've seen forced spending cuts or even entertaining the idea of it. i guess you're considering to be

the father of for spending cuts idea. were you a fan of it then or is was it over time you have decided it is a hurtful option and you see it only as a devastating one now? >> no. as a matter of fact, i was staffed and it did start interestingly enough on our side because we wanted to pass a debt increase, if that sounds familiar, and phil graham and others wanted to start spending. all of the staff i talked to on both sides of the aisle thought it was a stupid idea then. we felt pretty good because in 1986 when president obama signed the first and only major sequester up tull now, he thought it was a stupid idea. >> why would it be entertained again? >> i think it's an skpaem pl of people who have not lived through history or don't care to remember it. for many people now in the house

and senate, the sequester is brand new word. they were in high school or college or somewhere else 25 years ago, and they think it's a very smart idea, we'll just have these cuts occur if we don't do anything. >> except some of those lawmakers were around. i mean mitch mcconnell, some real senior lawmakers that are part of this process and part of the dialogue with this president were part of that history during the reagan years. so what happened? >> most of the folks who worked on that have retired. it leaves very senior people like mr. mcconnell and mr. reid really without a majority of people on either caucus who understand really how this caucus works and how damaging it's going to be as it's written. it's written right now, fredericka, exactly almost as if it were word for word what we wloet five years ago. >> dwlou see this ending?

can can people expect during that eight-month period quickly. >> you'll see notices to go out, but before that you'll see people with small businesses in the middle of ohio or new mexico having to lay off workers or not hire workers because they simply don't have a contract and can't pay their cash flow or cash bills. over a seven-month period if we continue seeing this. we'll see a growth in our economic growth, which will be 1%, 2%, which is very nearly a recession again. >> steve bell, appreciate your insight and comparisons of then and now. appreciate it. >> thank you. all right. a bus driver, you can't believe this one, actually passes out while driving, and it's all caught on camera. we'll show you what happened in those terrifying moments, and we're going to hear more about

so you have seen parts of the defense budget before. do you believe these cuts could endanger this country's readiness overall? >> no, it won't. it will weaken it somewhat, but it's not going to endanger it because even after all the cuts, they'll be back in real terms controlling inflation. it was in 2007. i don't remember anybody being that worried. nobody likes that you have to cut everything equally, but part of it is the penalty gone's own fault. they assumed it wouldn't happen. they kept spending for the first half of the year, not taking into this account. they have to hit some accounts twice as heard. i heard we're not going to deploy a ship to the persian gulf. we don't have one now. and we're not going to send one to the pacific. you always have to make those choices. >> there will be modifications

but when people hear that, they sometimes think our country will be made more vulnerable. will that be the case with these kinds of cuts? >> absolutely not. we're still spending, even if you take all these cuts, more than the next 14 nations in the world combined, most of whom are allies. this idea of saying we'll be a second rate power, compared to whom? people are concerned about them. here's the thing. the pentagon budget has grown by the time obama came into office. you have for the first time, a separate budget for war funding. so people say this is going to hurt with the troops. no you won't. you've got a separate budget for

that. and the whole idea about if you don't fly -- you used to fly for the navy. that's really overstating it. >> so you're being realssuring o the people. you say if every there was a time, now is the time. >> if you cut the whole sequestration, you'll cut it back to the 2007 levels. comparing to vietnam, the cold war, it's not nearly so bad. i worked for president reagan. in the second administration we cut defense spending. this is a 7% cut over ten years. we don't want sequestration to happen. it's a dumb way but this crying

wolf is going to come back and bite them if in fact we have to live with them and it doesn't end. >> chuck hagel getting through, you once worked with him, are you happy with his pick and his potenti potential leadership? >> i'm very pleased. military veteran, purple heart. he's been elected to the senate twice. he saved the uso, and he's very competitive in business. none of them had that total experience. some had one or the other. no. i think he'll be a very good. hard to believe. spring break is just around the corner and we've got you covered when it comes to fun and affordable locations.

$225 a night. spring break, you don't think about washington, d.c., but you think, people need to think again. >> yes, especially with cherry blossom season. it's a match made in heaven. if you're thinking about going to the capitol, check out the liaison capitol. they give you a picnic basket that has chocolate and cherry cookies in it. that's very, very thorough. they include two metro passes so you can get around town and to go to all the free museums in d.c., and it's under $200 a night. >> that's a bargain. >> i love that. you just have to show up. >> i like it. thanks so much. >> thank you, fredricka. >> time to start booking those flights, getting those plans going. check out this month's travel and leisure magazine. all right, lots of college

better off and many of those were replaced. almost half of college graduates are in jobs that do not require college degrees. janitor yas services, taxi drivers and retail sales. >> let's say each one of them were making $20,000 more a year income which is quite plausible, we're talking about $400 billion a year in lost wages. >> reporter: numbers like that show that underemployment may be as damaging to the economy as unemployment. calvin is caught in the middle of it all. for now he's a freelance photographer and taking a part-time job with moving companies. >> that can only support me so long before i need to head home. >> reporter: he might be the

it's 3:00 p.m. on the east coast. thank you for joining us. i'm fredricka whitfield. now for the spending cuts. $85 billion will be cut in the next several months. defense spending will hit the hardest. congress will take another stab at replacing the cuts with another less severe plan, perhaps later on this month. ma'am, were you crying when you were shooting him? >> i don't remember. >> were you crying when you were stabbing him? >> i don't remember. >> no holds barred.

cross-examination, jodi arias is forced to re-enact how her boyfriend allegedly tackled her when she shot him. arias admits she later stabbed and killed travis alexander she claims in self-defense, but prosecutors argue she killed him out of jealousy. arias returns to the stand on monday. we have more on the work cut out for her defense team in just a moment. venezuelan president hugo chavez is said to be fighting for his life, this as the opposition takes to twitter, accusing the government. meantime the supporters held a mass in the chapel of the venezuelan military hospital where chavez is said to be receiving cancer treatments. >> all right. back here in the u.s., intense fear in florida that a growing cinchhole could swallow a second home. the hole opened under a bedroom yesterday, and it sucked a man right into the ground.

cnn's john zarrella joining us live from the neighborhood where the ground is too unstable to try to recover the body. so, john, what can be done in the area to try to secure things? >> reporter: efforts are being made to determine the dimensions of the sinkhole and the materials around it. they determined that the sinkhole underneath the house was 25, 30 feet and perhaps deepening, as well as widening outbeyond the 30 feet that already existed as of last night. and because of what they were finding in the soil sampling and the soil penetrated radar, they had evacuated houses on either side of that house, and today the folks that live in the houses on either side were allow god into their homes for about 30 minutes or so today to get out whatever belongings they could. we saw them carryings out boxes.

we saw them carrying out some small pieces of furniture, even television sets, you know, even a dog kennel at one point was brought out for those just so they could get as much of their stuff out as they possibly could because of the concern that those houses on either side are also perhaps compromised by the ground that they sit on. now, the other part of the equation is that jeremy bush, the brother of jeff bush who apparently has died in that sinkhole, jeremy was the one who went in there first to his room, tried to dig his brother out. tried to get him out to no avail. today he was out there again. he laid flowers on this side of the street as close as he could get to the house and after laying the flowers, he knelt for a while and he was in tears, visibly still very shaken, emotional over the events that transpired. and, you know, one of the things, fredericka went through,

of course, the almost instantaneous trauma that they suffered was making 911 call. here's a portion of that. >> i need an ambulance. somebody's stuck underneath a house. the house just fell through. >> okay. what happened to the house? >> the bedroom floor just collapsed and my brother-in-law is underneath there. he's under the house. >> hold on one second. let me connect you with ems, okay? >> reporter: so a continuation of the efforts to try to figure out the dimensions. you can hear the noise behind me. the ground penetrating device. it's on this side of the street. it doesn't mean there's a problem on this side of the street. they're just trying to get a handle on where there is soft sand wrrks there is soft clay, and exactly at what point does the ground become stable around it so they can try to figure out a way to get into that house across the street, if they can

get into that house. >> gosh. extraordinary. so hard to believe and certainly so sad for that family. john zarrella, thanks so much, from seffner, florida. a short time ago i spoke with a woman who had been living in the house where the sinkhole happened. i asked her if anything happened in the hours or even day before this bizarre and tragic incid t incident. >> no. there was no nothing. no noise, no cracks, no nothing. no signs, no indications or anything. >> simply came out of nowhere. so then when it happened, describe for me, a, what happened in your view, and what happened immediately following? >> well, right when it happened it sounded like somebody rammed our house going about 120 miles an hour, and then you hear his scream and that's it.

you just hear scream. >> what part of the house were you in at this time? >> i was in the bedroom right next to him. >> you heard the big noise, you heard him scream. did you come running out of your bedroom? what did you see? >> when i jumped out of my bed, it had also taken my closet, and it was about 20 feet away from my closet, my bed where i was sleeping. >> all right. pretty extraordinary. details right there. janelle says she's asking right now for everyone's prayers. let's get back to those spending cuts and someone who isn't buying all the dire predictions. that would be mitt romney. in fact, he calls the mandated spending cut a real opportunity to help the economy recover and blames politics for getting in the way. >> this is an opportunity.

i look at the sequester and tax cuts as a once in a lifetime opportunity for america to solve its fiscal problems. if we do that, we could become more competitive globally and america can lead the world for the coming century. i mean i see this as this huge opportunity and it's being squandered by politics, by people who are more interested in a political victory than they are in doing what's right for the country, and it's very frustrating. i have to tell you the hardest thing about losing is watching this critical moment, this golden moment slip away with politics. >> and even though president obama signed the order to trig ter spending cuts, that hasn't st stopp stopped. we bring in washington correspondent dana bash. >> it's going to be kind of a

slow roll. it will take several weeks or even longer. we've heard a lot about head start, you know, effectively nursery school for kids, child care for kids, we've heard about lines at the airports, but there are so many different things. i want to show our viewers of the random sampling of the cuts that were put out by the administration last night. $28 million from osha, they dictate safety in the workplace. not a small thing. $24 million for small business loans. they say small business are the engine of the country. $15 million on a fema loan program, that's disaster relief and $2 million for grain inspection. of course, that is important to everybody because almost everybody unless you're on an at kins diet eat grain. these are a randomm sampling of

the kinds of cuts that will really affect everyone across the board and the country. >> so the other big potential obstacle or hurdle is the government shutdown and that's what's being threatened at the end of the month. who shauld be or can be done to avert it? >> that was probably the only bit of news at all, good or bad, that came out of this meeting that the president had with congressional leaders yesterday. the president said he does not want to have a government shutdown. he'll do what he can to avoid that. and republican house speaker john boehner said the sang them? how are they going to do it? the devil is in the details. . they're going to come up with a piece of legislation to carry them through the end of the fiscal year. basically the difference between giving some flexibility or leeway to pentagon versus what

democrats want to do. they say if you want to do, that you have to do the same to domestic programs. so those are some of the differences, but the sources i talked to in the senate, they say the signal they got from the president yesterday was figure it out, fix it, we don't want another bit of washington drama. >> all right. >> in 25 days. >> all right. dana bash, thank you in washington. >> thank you. >> meantime, out west, an 8-year-old girl becomes an innocent victim of a senseless drive-by shooting. police think the gunmen were really after someone else. and a tough week on the stand for jodi arias. she says she killed her boyfriend in self-defense. we'll show you how prosecutors think otherwise. and this horrible incident on a bus. the bus driver passing out at the wheel. what happened, next. about health care... noise i tuned it all out.

with unitedhealthcare, i get information that matters... my individual health profile. not random statistics. they even reward me for addressing my health risks. so i'm doing fine... but she's still going to give me a heart attack. we're more than 78,000 people looking out for more than 70 million americans. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare.

>> reporter: with jodi arias still on the stand, this was the week of cross-examination. jodie said after she was body slammed on floor of the bathroom, she ran not out of the bathroom but into the closet and climbed to the top shelf to retrieve a gun she neutra vis had shchl e came out of the closet. with both hands she aimed it at him. she demonstrated in court how travis lunched at her like a linebacker. the gun went off. she said he then issued a profanity to her culminating with killing you. after that they both fell to the floor. she remembered nothing else. the prosecutor countered her on every bit of her story. he said, you say travis had a gun but yet in that tar rohr, there's not one thing out of place in the closet and the crime scene photos show that. it didn't match the forensics

because of the blood at the scene and the bullet casing on top which means it came last, not first. although she testified that she blacked out, she admitted many things, that she stabbed travis multiple times and there was a cup underneath. she admitted taking the things she used iffer cleanup and throwing it into the desert. and she also tried not to implicate her to show she was not in mesa, arizona, and she was not the killer of travis alexander. reporting in phoenix, i'm jean casarez. >> arias is back on the stand on monday. after the defense is through, the jury can ask questions and if the judge thinks it's appropriate, arias has to answer them. in fresno, an 8-year-old

girl is in stable condition. she was sleeping in her house when it happened thursday morning. police say people pulled up and fired more than two dozen bullets in the house. they believe one of aleah's older brothers was the target. back to the spending cuts now a reality. we'll try to explain why the markets aren't showing a whole lot of concern. and what's the risk to your own investments. what you need to know about hanging onto your own money next. and this week's cnn hero spent 13 years delivering babies before a back injury forced her to stop and now she's found a new way to bring babies and mothers safely through childbirth. she calls it solar suitcase. meet dr. laura stachele. >> there's a traditional african saying that when you become pregnant you have one foot in the grave. there are so many women dying in

child birth in the communities. pregnancy is feared. when i went to africa, i saw these women one after another coming in with complications and we didn't even have adequate light to treat them. welcome to the world, everyone. a lot of the clinics don't have any electricity. midwifes use care seen lanterns, they may use candles, they use their cell phones to deliver babies. once i witnessed the things that i saw, i had to do something about it. my name is dr. laura stachel. i'm simply providing a solar and power source so mothers and babies can be saved during child birth. they receive the solar suitcase for free. >> the charge controller is very free. solar suitcase provides medical quality lighting. it charges cell phones. it has a small battery charger

for head lamps and the fetal doppler we approve. perfect, that's it. mothers are now eager to come to the clinics. it's shifted it around to the health care worker. >> this light is going to bring around good changes. >> turn this on. there you to go. >> thank you so much. >> you're welcome. i want a world where women and their families get to celebrate birth and i would love to be part of making that happen. >> that's incredible. solar suitcases is helping health care workers help save lives in 20 countries now. if you know someone who's making a big difference in someone's lives to go to cnnheroes.com. for your first day? yeah. ♪

over the roll jot of forced spending cuts, it's certainly not showing it. the dow ended high yesterday and is still climbing. alison kosik takes a look. >> no new record high yet for the dow. still the threat of forced spending cuts didn't really affect market movement this week. investors have factored the cuts into their thinking for months, and stocks, they remain attractive because the fed real serve continues to pour in the stimulus. bernanke told congress the fed had no plans to rein in the bonds. he said they are justified but he warned government spending cuts would put a significant burden on the economy. cc penny said ron johnson, never mind the new retail strategy launched last year. they reported an almost 30% drop

in sales from 2012. their profit margins sh rufrpg as well. reaction to the new strategy is so bad they had to sell stuff on clearance. guess what? the weekly sales are coming back. barnes & noble chairman wants to separate the brick and mortar stores from the nook unit. they want to protect the stores from sliding scales while the store is still profitable. it reported a net loss of over $1 million. a new look. analytics firm placed says bed bath and beyond is the most vulnerable to showrooming. that's when they try out products in the store but buy them on amazon.com. petsmart was close. best buy and sears also made the

top ten. of the ten most at risk of showrooming, eight have some kind of price match policy. the other way, exclusive products. for example target is featuring a line of swimwear featured in this year's i diggs of "sports illustrated" swimsuit edition. >> we know what the market thinks. but should you be adjusting your own strategies? joining me now from new york. >> thank you for having me. >> are they big enough that they'll trickle down to our 401(k)s in some way, shape, or form? >> no. i think there's a lot of anxiety created for no reason. they don't seem to be concerned at all. it didn't come out of left field.

we've been talking about it for 18 months. they put this in place 18 months ago to try to force the politicians to come together and in fact in the end they can't come together and so the market's well prepared for it. >> you say the market does look six, seven, eight months ahead and it's the long term that it's, i guess, more concerned about or react to not necessarily these immediate cuts. >> that's right. it's a discounting mechanism. the market only reacts like that when something so unexpected happens that the market wasn't prepared. and a perfect example is what happened on monday in italy, right? they had itself prepared and a new political landscape that it very well expected and when that didn't happen, it became clear not only to the europeans but it became clear to the u.s. markets and asian markets. that's when you kind of saw this global reaction around the world where markets kind of sold off. then they regroup and they started going right back after it. kind of assessed, okay, this is

the new landscape wks e reprice and to go from there. bang, our markets to go back to where they were. testing and teasing the highs, so not concerned at all about the sequestration cuts because it's well prepares for id. >> your advice to long-term investors, you say stay the course, don't panic. >> you shouldn't panic. we've been talking about it. any pullback. any pullback is going to be welcome because it's going give you an opportunity as you invest over a period of time. it averages out, right? so as stocks actually get a little bit weaker, you're going to end up buying more stock with the same amount of money than you would if stocks were higher. so, fac s so,, in fact, you should stay the course. don't forget, investing is very dynamic.

all right. welcome back. it's 3:30 on the east coast, 12:30 out west. for those of you just joining us, welcome to the newsroom. i'm fredricka whitfield with a look at the top stories right now. we've heard how much is going to be chopped in the four spending cuts of $85 billion but many of you want to know how this hits home. attorney general eric holder has some real concerns about how this will hurt his department. >> under sequestration, we'll do the best to minimize the harm that actually occurs as a result of the sequestration, but the reality is there is going to be harm, there is going to be pain, and the american people are going to be less safe. >> tom foreman is here with

more. the justice department is being cut by roughly $1.5 billion. somewhere between 9% and 18% for most agencies. eric holder said the americans might be less safe. >> those are strong words. the idea that all of us might be less safe is a big concern. let's look at the map to understand why he's saying that. that get $1.6 billion less. so $25.4 billion to run their agency. this is why woit buld less safe, furloughs, people doing background checks would be involved. lockdowns in prisons because less people to guard and all sorts of things that fall under the purview of the justice

department would have to do at a lesser level with less people. that's why he says it will be less safe because it comes down to that number. here's the problem and one of the reasons the administration is taking heat as it keeps putting out these ominous warnings like this. look at this. if you look at the level we were talking about a minute ago, that's right about here. that's where it is. that's what he's talking about. what that means is there are really only three years since 2002 where we were not at or below the level that eric holder now says will make us less safe. so the question makes us were we less safe all of these years? i don't think we were less safe. it's been that national crime levels have been steadily dropping. that's one of the reasons that it's been so complicated when the administration has tried to

put out these dire warnings and others push back and say the facts don't support that it will be necessarily less safe. is it a problem? maybe. does it pose a challenge? yes. will these agencies be strapped and could there be problems? yes. but when they throw out words like that, that gives the opposition something to push back on and say don't overreach. >> so there are a lot of kritings out there because of the language being used, including republicans. did they make a good argument? >> i think they do in the sense that if you look at some of these things, whether the transportation department or education didn't or in this case the attorney general, there were statements made this past week that gave it a sense it's going to blow up right now and there's just no real sign that that's going to happen. however, this is important to bare in mind. in the end one of the real dangers could be you say something like it's going to be less safe and they look at this. they look around next week, next week, next week, they say

nothing has really changed. this is a little bit like the frog in the boiling pot problem, fred. initially when the water is not hot, the frog does not move and by the team the frog realizes it, it's cooked. these problems will slowly heat up over weeks and months and if nothing changes about the sequester then you might reach a point where statements like this are true but by then people will feel leak they can't trust someone because it came so early. >> thanks so much. we appreciate that. let's talk about the next pope and what the pope may face. some pretty major issues within the u.s. catholic church. there's a growing number of latino church members and only a few latino priests.

the reign of pope benedict xvi is over and now the cardinals are making their way to the vatican to choose a new leader of the catholic church. the first of a series of meetings begins monday but there's no word yet on when the papal conclave will take place. meanwhile the cardinal of ghana is not running for pope but he clearly has a lot of supporters who want him to lead the catholic chur p. posters with his picture have been plastered around rome urging cardinals to vote for him, but political styling for the papacy says that's forb forbidden. they're unlikely to have been produced with his knowledge. if elected he would be the first noneuropean to lead the catholic church in more than a thousand years. the face of the american catholic population is changing. the growing number are young and hispanic but that's not at the case for their priests.

cnn's deborah feyerick has more. >> it would be defined by a new pope. well, the number of catholics, especially in the united states, are hoping that some changes would be made to reflect the reality of the times. when the new pope tries to reach out to american catholics, he may find himself face to face with many who have latin american roots. across the nation, the face of the u.s. catholic church is changing fast. >> we've reached the point where about one third of all catholics in the united states are latinos and among catholics under the age of 40, about half are lat o latinos. >> reporter: but the face of the church hierarchy has not changed much at all. >> think we have challenges in the church that are pretty

but it doesn't mean the church will change to address their concerns. >> when it comes to faith and morals that the church's teachings need to be in dialogue with the culture, they need to stand independent of that culture. >> reporter: meanwhile some are voting with their feet. some lost a quarter of their student population in ten years. there are fewer baptisms, burials, even fewer catholic weddings. >> there's a lot of discord in the american catholic church. there's a lot of tension between different factions and what not and to help reconcile these different elements and help the church move forward i think is something that nights to be of concern to all catholics. >> reporter: so as we await the white smoke signaling a new pope and hope for the american faithful. it remains to be seen whether the latest smoke signals will be

this, right? >> yes. >> and you're the same individual that lied about all this, right? >> yes. >> so then take a look at it. >> reporter: from the stand, arias did her best to convince the jury she acted in had self defense. she says alexander attacked her after she he dropped his camera. >> he body-slammed me. >> he body-slammed you down, right? >> yes. >> in a very forceful way. where did he body-slam you down, ma'am? >> right in the same area. on the tile. >>. >> reporter: even if it was self defense, how did it lead to this? nearly 30 stab wounds. his throat cut, and a single gunshot to the head. and prosecutors specifically retraced the steps leading up to that point, starting with the moment she says she shot him. >> he just was running at me as i turned around. >> reporter: arias alleged

alexander had charged her, like a linebacker. >> show me the linebacker pose. >> he got down -- >> well, show me the linebacker pose. that's what i'm asking for you to do. >> okay. he went like that, and he turned his head. >> reporter: that's when she says the gun went off. >> i think i screamed "stop" when i pointed the gun at him. >> then what do you do? >> i don't really remember. i just remember -- i don't remember anything at that point. so i would be speculating. >> reporter: later, the prosecutor displayed several gruesome photos from the crime scene. >> and according to your version of events, you would acknowledge that that stabbing was after the shooting, according to you, right? >> yes. i don't remember. >> i'm not asking you if you remember, ma'am. i'm asking if you acknowledge that it would be you that did it. correct? >> yes. >> reporter: no matter what she said on the stand, the state

isn't buying her story. and here's why. investigators believe arias killed alexander in the somehow we are. inside court, the prosecutor showed a clip of her interview with a detective, an attempt to prove show lured alexander to the shower, just hours after they had sex. >> i asked him if i could do pictures of him in the shower, and he's like, no. and i was like, i just have an idea. i have a couple ideas. and i saw this thing in a calvin klein ad once that looked really good. and so he was -- you're right. he wasn't very comfortable at first. he -- he's standing there, and he's all, "i feel gay." >> reporter: arias snapped naked photos, including this one in court. it's time stampeded 5:30 p.m., just two minutes before arias stabbed him in the heart. so you were the person who was directing him on where to be and how to sit, right? >> yes. >> reporter: directing him, perhaps, to his own death. >> do you remember that we're talking about travis alexander.

let's start with that. >> yes, i remember that. >> that's why we're here, because you killed him, right? >> yes. >> randi kaye, cnn, phoenix, arizona. >> arias is back on the stand monday to face more questions from her attorney. the defense can ask about anything the prosecutor brought up. and after the defense is through, the jury can submit questions. if the judge thinks that's appropriate, arias has to answer them. right now in florida, crews are trying to figure out how to prevent a growing sinkhole from swallowing a second home. the hole opened under a bedroom yesterday, sending a man plunging into the ground. cnn's zon gentleman zarelia. what are they going to do next? >> reporter: that's exactly right, fredricka. i think that's the million-dollar question. i'm not sure at this point in time they know exactly how they're going to be able to retrieve jeff bush's body from

the blue house behind me there. what they do know is that they continued all day today to do sampling of the ground. the radar, ground-penetrating raiders they have been using to see the dimensions of the sinkhole and not just the sinkhole itself but the surrounding terrain. the ground underneath the adjacent houses, the ground on this side of the street, to try and get a better handle on how far this sinkhole will -- could expand. not will expand, but could expand. and what they ended up doing today was -- yesterday, not only the blue house, but the houses on either side had been evacuated out of an abundance of caution by authorities. and today they let the residents of those two homes go back in for a brief period of time, about 30 minutes. they had boxes they brought for the people so they could load up whatever they wanted to bring out, carry out, and allow them to take those belongings out. so that they would at least have something that they -- they couldn't get much out yesterday on the -- really quick

turn-around they had time to get out of those houses. and the problem they see is that those houses could very well be compromised, as well. simply because of the underlying dirt, the underlying sand is very soft. that's one of the concerns they had. now, jeff bush's brother, jeremy, was out here earlier this morning as well. and he came out with a couple of bouquets of flowers, laid them on this side of the street. he couldn't get any closer. he knelt down and broke down in tears as he did so many times yesterday. jeremy was the one, of course, who tried to get in -- he was the first one in the room when the floor collapsed. he was the first one to try and get shovels, to try and dig his brother out, and, of course, to no avail. it has been a long, grueling, 48-plus hours for the families here. and the agony continues with no immediate end in sight. we think at the top of the next hour, fredricka, we may have a news conference from local officials, fire authorities, as well as engineering people to

kind of give us an update on where things are at this point in time. fredricka. >> john zarelia, we look forward to that. thank you so much. sure. in fresno, california, an 8-year-old girl is in stable condition after being injured in a drive-by shooting. her aunt spoke out. she is heartbroken about what happened. >> the last time i took a look at my niece, she was a healthy young little girl. and it's hard to see her in the condition that she is. and it is an injury she does not have to sustain. >> this could have very well been retaliation for some type of past incident. >> leah cha was sleeping in the living room of her house when it happened thursday morning. police say a few people pulled up and fired more than two dozen bullets into the house. they believe one of aleah's older brothers was the target. the head of the faa has been saying, brace yourself for

delays and cancellations at airports, all because of forced spending cuts. but do those hold water. we'll find out in a minute. citrucel is different- it's the only fiber for regularity that won't cause excess gas. look for citrucel today.

we've all heard how much is going to be chopped in the forced spending cuts, $85 billion. but many of you want to know how this is going to hit home. for anyone who flies, there is a warning that there could be big delays at airports, and even cancellation of some flights. our tom foreman is ready to do a reality check on all of that. so, tom, the head of the faa has been beating a drum very loudly over the impact of these cuts. are these warnings realistic? >> reporter: well, the head of the transportation department, secretary ray lahood, has done the same thing. said this is a big, big area of concern out there. and i've been getting a lot of questions on our "ask tom" thing to do about this very question. the main warning here is that there could be 90-minute delays at major airports. and we're talking about places like atlanta and chicago and houston, places like that out in l.a. but mainly at peak times and a lot of traffic there. here is the tricky part. how do you know for sure if that's what you're going to run into.

for starters, because of the way they're going to handle any furloughs or layoffs, it's going to take some time before this would happen. you wouldn't expect it next week or the next week. but in the weeks after that, maybe it starts trickling through. more like the end of the month. nonetheless, let's look at the math here and why they say they're going to have this problem. essentially they were saying they were counting on this $15,900,000 for their budget. they're going to end up with around $14,900,000 and that's not enough because so much of their budget is in personnel, people who handle the movement of planes, running control towers and that's why this is going to be a big problem. but, fred, and this is, again, one of those things that gets people who are -- who are pushing back on the administration's warnings, saying these are scare tactics, they say look at this. if you look at the number of peaks in the country, this is how many we're going to have this year. 726 million, something like that. that is a lot of passengers.

but if i push this back, i can go back in here, and i can get -- look at that. 736 million passengers, and the budget of, look, 14.9, 14.9. so this is what the critics are saying. they're saying, look, only a few years ago, 2007, 2008, your budget was the same thing that you're complaining about now, saying you can't get the job done. and yet you handled more passengers. so what have you changed in here, and how do you change it back? i know there was some labor agreements and changes in rules in here that have been part of the change. but that's the very issue here. the people who want to see these cuts can be taken, they're saying look in here and find out where your problems are, and fix them, whereas other people in the administration are saying, look, this number is rising. we think it's going to keep rising. we just can't afford to cut back now. >> wow. tom foreman, thanks so much for bringing that to us. lots of numbers, lots to digest. appreciate it.

considered young for his job, as well. and cardinal dolan had an audience with the outgoing pope on his last day, and he spoke to cnn's christian amanpour about benedict's legacy and the future of the catholic church. >> it was very touching and i don't mind admitting it was kind of somber. it was sad. i love him. we call him our holy father. i'll miss him. and that dawned on me today, that's the last time i'll see him as the pope. this morning, christian, like any other priest in the world, when i order offered mass, the most important prayer of the mass, you say for benedict i pope, and i stopped, because that's the last time i'll say that. so there was a touch of sadness there. he was, first of all, i would tell you, that seeing him yesterday at the audience, you were there. and seeing him today, it dawned on me how fragile he is. i was privileged to be with him for almost a month in october during what's called the sin add of bishops and i could see he

had aged, but seemed to be very strong, alert, spry. but yesterday and again today i saw he was very, very frail. he didn't speak long. it was kind of a from a turnal, informal meeting, the college of cardinals and himself. he only spoke for maybe six or seven minutes. i was extraordinary moved -- i don't know why i was surprised, but when he said, i look forward to giving my allegiance and my complete obedience to my successor. >> i was precisely going to ask you about that. because he looked out and said one of you perhaps will be the next pope. >> and i thought, my oh, my. now -- now he will have a pope. he will have a holy father. yeah. >> and that was very moving to me to know that the life of the church goes on. jesus provides for his church, there will be a new occupant. when i went up, christian, you were kind enough to ask about the personal meeting. and i went up, and first, i started to introduce myself, and he said, oh, i know who you are.

and he called me by name. i like that. >> yes, idea. >> and i said, holy father, can i just tell you, i love you very much. and i thank you. and i'm praying with you, and for you. and i speak on pabehalf of all the people of the archdiocese of new york. and he said to me, i thank you, and i remember my visit to it new york. >> well, that's wonderful. >> it was very moving. >> i need to ask you now, in that vein, are you going to be the next pope? you are on many people's lists of front-runners. >> well, i've been on my mom's list for a while. i don't know how many other lists. but i don't think. so as you know, you're a pro, that's tough for us to talk about. i'm flattered you would think that. but i don't think that's a possibility. >> you have used extremely colorful language, in fact, to play that down. i think you said you might be smoking marijuana or something. >> he said people who say that might be drinking too much group or smoking marijuana. they asked me today, did you
